How to Watch

Season 8 of Love Island USA is now streaming exclusively on Peacock.

As Charlie revealed on his Instagram Story on June 2, he joined a Love Island USA watch party in Orlando at The Villa. In the videos he posted and re-posted from inside the bar, Charlie was cheering like the proudest brother as Zach was introduced to viewers in the Season 8 premiere.

Capturing a clip of Love Island USA's opening scene, Charlie wrote "LET'S GOOOOO" over his Instagram Story. In another video he re-posted, Charlie's eyes were glued to the big screen as Zach smooched on his fellow Season 8 Islanders

Zach's intro video was set to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction, and adorably, realizing that the producers chose that specific song for his brother clearly made Charlie geek out even more in the moment. "ONE D 3 EVERRRRRRR," Charlie wrote over a video on his Instagram Story of him dancing and singing along.  

Charlie appeared in Love Island USA Season 7 and competed in the second season of Love Island Games, and now his younger brother Zach is taking a stab at finding love in the Villa.

While Charlie didn't make it past Day 11 last season, all eyes will be on his younger brother as Zach attempts to navigate the unfamiliar waters of the Villa.

After choosing to explore other potential relationships rather than stay with Kenzie Annis (thanks to the surprising arrival of Bombshell Kayda Bosse), Zach has an uphill battle to climb. But one thing's for certain: His brother will be rooting for him every step of the way. In a cheeky TikTok video posted ahead of Season 8's premiere, Charlie wrote, "It's up to you now, brother."
